Science at forefront of new series

Published 2:22 pm, Monday, April 24, 2017

There will be an open exchange on the science of climate change as the first in a series called Science and Scones.

Brent Chandler, Illinois College chemistry professor, will host the first event, which will be 1-2:30 p.m. May 20 at The Soap Co. Coffee House in downtown Jacksonville. It will cover the methods scientists use to collect, interpret and use climate-related data. After the presentation, there will be an open conversation on the subject.

Sponsored by the American Chemical Society through a Science Cafe Mini-Grant, this series is designed to promote science literacy by engaging scientists and non-scientists in discussions on current topics.
